Local police arrested a woman who appears to be former liberal radio network Air America host Nicole Sandler while she was disrupting Rep. Allen West’s Tuesday town hall event in Fort Lauderdale and harassing the Congressman’s wife. According to video obtained by Florida blogger Javier Manjarres, known better online as The Shark Tank, police charged Sandler, who revealed her name on camera, with trespassing after they removed her from the event and she “continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer.”
With Air America now defunct, Sandler hosts a self-described “progressive talk radio” show at RadioOrNot.com.
In video he shot of the town hall, several hecklers Manjarres says were “planted” shouted over West as he began speaking at the event. At least one other man was removed from the event. After the hecklers continued disrupting West’s comments, the freshman Congressman shot back at them: “You’re not going to intimidate me.”
West continued speaking after a police officer removed one man from the room the event was held in. Manjarres reports that, “minutes later,” the ultimately arrested Sandler began harassing West and his wife.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the people who disrupted West’s town hall did so because they were not pleased with his pre-event condition that he’d take only written questions submitted before the event. The Post reports that police escorted two men out of the event and that questions hecklers asked included, “How about our Medicare that you’re stealing?” and “How about allowing questions from the audience?”

call them what you may..
They hate losing and love making a scene.
Here comes the “tolerant” jackasses from the left..
There should be a hunting season on liberals. Perhaps one day there will be...
“...police charged Sandler, who revealed her name on camera, with trespassing after they removed her from the event and she ‘continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer.’”
As long as she was charged for trespassing, and NOT the use of an expletive, I have no problem with that! We don’t need anymore of a police state than we already have.
Kudos to Rep. West for not caving to the hecklers. And Kudos to the police for doing their job, unlike in Madison!
Was that not a case of over-the-top? They must have had a passle of marxists in there for all the noise they made. I was afraid they were going to shut West down so he couldn’t possibly be heard. Is it against the law to attack these goons for disrupting a public meeting? I mean lay all over them? Is it against the law?
I thought Err America was shut down.
You can not bait the field with welfare checks.
Are they sure that it wasn’t Randi Rhodes?
Looks about 40 pounds heavier than when the photo on her web page was taken.
Liberals always have been the biggest racists around.
Watching leftist activists trying to duplicate Tea Party activism is sort of like watching a gorilla try to manage an antiques shop.
Moveon and the rest of the Obamanites have issued their people to go to town halls and other events and do just as this twirp did. Expect them to raise Cain everywhere now....it’s their style and they will get nastier as the election kicks up.
RACIST!
LMAO!
Another Air America loser.

Too bad the cop didn’t warm her head up a bit before he cuffed her.
